For a SHTF scenario, what best combo using the same ammo?

[Denny]

Maybe I should swing by Denny's first instead

I gotta figure out how to maximize this commodity!

I'm not much on the " same ammo" sort of thing, but I have been eyeballing that .454 casull Puma lever action.

They make such a beast?

You can start by sending me a picture

Then you'd be scared off! I'll get more for her if it's a mystery.

LOL! I don't scare easily!

Nice! Now that's something that I could reasonable do. What did the lever action run you?

I got a great deal on it. NIB for $280.

I've been looking for a 10mm magnum lever gun.

Lever guns that shoot straight walled cartridges need a rimmed (revolver) cartridge to hold the case in place. You could make a different bolt/extractor setup to grasp the rebated rim of a 10mm, just like an autoloading pistol, but they already make .41mag lever guns. Why not a .44mag lever gun? You already load that.

10mm magnum is an incredible cartridge.

Really?? Damn that's an awesome deal (IMO). Where did you find that??

After you brought that combo up, this is what I would go with. Reasonably powerful cartridge in a firearm that's accurate and capable (again IMO) in a defensive situation.

True but not to many options in a long gun that I know of.

Olympic makes an AR upper with an 18rd mag. It's always an option.

After much googling, I realize you're talking about an entirely different cartridge than the 10mm auto. Apparently there's a larger cartridge than the 10mm auto that approaches .41 magnum performance. Cool.

I'd have to say these 2.

Can I watch you pull the trigger on the pistol

The 10mm magnum has more bang than a .41 mag. My 10mm loads toss projectiles faster and with more energy than a .41 magnum, but I'm loading to nuclear levels. My favorite hunting load I've worked up is 135gr HP @ 1600fps - 768ft/lbs. The best part is it has more velocity at 150 yards than a .45ACP does at the muzzle.

marlin camp 9 and smith and wesson 59 series pistol
marlin camp 45 and 1911
ruger carbine and ruger pistols
keltec carbine w grip for whichever glock or beretta
(the above combos use same ammo and same mags)
various pistol caliber lever actions(marlin,winchester,henry)and revolver of your choice
of course you could get a magnum research bfr revolver in 30-30,444marlin,45-70,or 450 marlin and get a matching levergun.

Sounds like you need an AR upper to take advantage of that load!

[LANTIRN]

What about a shotgun chambered in 410, and a Judge revolver for your sidearm?
